Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána

2:00 am

Dr. Shawna Coxon:

I believe the Chair is referring to the review of all missing persons cases, which took place in February. The returns have come back and we have not made final decisions on how many will be upgraded but several have been put forward for consideration. They are in the reconsideration process. I will be clear, in that the policy states these cases are to be reviewed on a quarterly basis. That is tracked. This review was in addition to that, where we asked for a specific, rigorous review of each and every case across country. That has been completed.
